Domestic Life Of the Early Miner.

Our domestic life was simple The gen.
eral rule was that cooking, wood choppiuq,

kIuis OF household work should be -
equal share and all go ont mining together
aud return together 10 the cabin, which
was left unguarded and unlocked and
indeed many OF the cabins had nothing
for door save piece of tent cloth, an
ticipation OF the fashionable portiers
Everyone took care OF his own knife, fork,
spoon, tin cup, tin plate and washed his
own clothes The underclothing was of
coarse colored cotton or wool; they hid
the dirt and washed easily. Starched
shirts, polished boots, and ve.pipe hats
were never seen, and would have exposed
the wearer to discouraging practical jokes.
Sunday was day Of rest from the ordi
nary routine OF labor. The pious spent
t in reading, writ ng letters. conversation
and walking The worldlings washed aud
mended their clothes. and went out pros
pectlng and hunting There was no gath
ering for religious purposes, and so far as
| recollect, no death or burial; certainly
no wedding or christening.
The routine OF the week day was 10 rise,
cook, aud eat breakfast before day, by the
light OF the fire, as candles were very dear;
each put the bedclotbes on his own bunk
